I Had Coffee With Mat Kearney
I had coffee with Mat Kearney today.
Seriously, I did!
He came into Prince St. Cafe last week while in town for his show at the Chameleon Club here in Lancaster, PA. I didn’t want to seem like a little fangirl (though there may have been one or two butterflies flying around) so I just walked up and asked him if I could sit down and talk. He was very polite and we had a great discussion about how to choose track listings for albums. If I can take the liberty of paraphrasing his thoughts on the matter they went something like this:
There are those three of four songs that you know have to go on the record. The rest are filled in by songs you feel would work or songs your fans think should go on the record.
There you go! Short, sweet, and to the point! And to top things off, he offered me, my wife, and a fellow coworker free tickets to his show that night! It was a great show and my wife and I agreed that Mat was definitely our favorite act of the night!
So thanks Mat for the conversation and the tickets! Perhaps we’ll meet again, eh?
